  • Note: I was an exchange student in the US, and hosted some US student in return, back in France. So I was able to live the culture shock first hand. 😆

    It is true that there is a sharp contrast between the French way of life and other, more easy going countries, like the US.

    Politeness is key, especially between strangers. But without knowing any of the rules, a foreigner has a good chance of being rude without even realizing it.

    But once you got past that hard outer shell, we can be quite friendly. Of course, there are exceptions, and I personally experienced some pretty rude waiter in Paris… once.



  • I’m gonna be honest with you, as a non-english speakers, this is unreadable, and kinda obnoxious.

    Please take into consideration that this is an international website, that people from many different countries go to in order to talk to each other. If someone suddenly decide to use his local letters to write, most readers will just not understand what you write. At best it makes you look pedantic, at worst intentionally trying to exclude others from talking with you.

    I can understand why others may be irritated by your behavior, albeit I’d condemn any attempt at brigading to harass you over it.
    If you feel like it, you can ask for a brigading check to see if some accounts are following you to downvote every ones of your posts, admins can see votes and got some tools to help detect such behavior.




  • As he said, modlogs are public, and it seems like other user retreived the trace of what you call an “abuse of power” : https://sopuli.xyz/comment/12732467 .

    It is in his right as a moderator to chose how he moderate the communities he has the right to. If he finds your comment pedantic and annoying, and chose to remove it, so be it.

    I’m not taking sides here. I don’t know the whole story, and I doubt anyone else here does. With the little context provided, It’d be hard to take knowingly a side.

    But in both case, this is textbook harassement as you are copy-pasting this comment on every community this is posted on. This community has a pretty clear rule against harrassement (rule 2), which you are breaching, offense for which I’ll use my g… mod given right of banning you for the time being (I’ll re-evaluate tomorrow when I’ll be less tired).

    Edit : After talking with OP via PM, a ban of 7 days was issued














  • c/games mod here. Yeah, we wish for our community to be more about discussing about games themselves than memeing in order to avoid meme drowning other content.

    Meme are funny, I don’t personally mind them, but once you allow too much of them, you end up becoming a meme community.

    Maybe we should create, if it doesn’t exist, a “gamesmeme” or similar to offload if it tend to overwhelm c/gaming too, or create a dedicated day to meme out (aka “meme monday”).
